Bound zvol_threads module option
The zvol_threads module option should be bounded to a reasonable range. The taskq must have at least 1 thread and shouldn't have more than 1,024 at most. The default value of 32 is a reasonable default. Signed-off-by: Brian Behlendorf <[email protected]> Closes #3614
